I ate lots of eggs, mostly scrambled and oatmeal for breakfast. And I ate lots of ground beef, all natural, and chicken. We would use the ground beef to make burgers or ham steak or nachos. The nachos were my fav! Ground beef, onion, black beans, corn, avocado, sour cream, cheese, and chips. Avocados are a pregnancy super food per the Dr. Luke book. Check out the book When you are expecting twins...etc by Dr.Luke for great nutritional info. I also ate a lot of raw veggies with dip and veggie burgers for lunches. I never tried protein drinks, just made sure my diet was adequate. My boys were 7 lbs & 6.7 lbs. at 37w5d. So I guess my diet worked.

Wow, I am impressed. Here I thought I was doing good by making the 100 g recommended in WTE. I probably go a bit over, but nowhere near the 200+ grams you're doing! Kudos to you!

As for my favorite dishes, I'm on my own most days for lunch and dinner, as hubby works out of town, so I usually just have some kind of meat, simply cooked (turkey, chicken, steak, etc.) for lunch and dinner, plus lots of milk and cheese, a protein bar, and any other high protein snacks I can think of.

Typical day (today):

Breakfast: walnut bread toast with goat cheese, two scrambled eggs, a glass of milk and three mandarin oranges.

Dinner: Sauteed calamari, side of lima beans with smoked ham. More fruit for dessert.

Don't know how many grams of protein that is, as I buy nearly all of my food at a local farmer's market where nutrition information is not listed.

Super milk is skim milk mixed with fat free powdered milk. It calls to be mixed with water but I just put it in the milk. It makes 8 ounces double the protein without the bulk of having to drink 16. I mix it in everything....mac & chz, oatmeal, carnation instant breakfast etc.

It doesn't taste great plain but I occasionally down a glass just for the protein. I am a big milk drinker though...can finish a gallon in just a couple days. Helps with the heartburn too :)
